[quote=Anonymous]I think you should pick your battles a little more. I wouldn't have picked socks. I'd have asked, if she said no I'd have said a breezy okay, and tucked a pair of socks into my bag and herded us out the door. Natural consequences can be her guide. She won't die if her ankles and feet get cold/wet. In a calm moment I'd tell her "I was thinking about what you said - that you feel like there are too many rules here. Can you tell me what rules you think are fair for you to have? How many rules would you give your six year old?" I would want to hear what SHE thinks is fair - get an idea of where her head is. Also, it would help her feel heard. [/quote]
